Lions' Dan Campbell wants his team 'locked in' as Detroit tries to avoid going from first to worst
After soaring to the NFC’s top playoff seed last season, the Detroit Lions won't be returning to the postseason this year, and they could end up at the bottom of the NFC North. The Lions (8-8) were bounced from playoff contention Thursday with a 23-10 loss at Minnesota.
It was a dreadful performance from Dan Campbell's squad, with Detroit committing six turnovers – yes, six turnovers for the first time since 2015 – and averaging a measly 3.61 yards per play. It marked the Lions’ sixth-worst offensive efficiency in a game since 2010 (and their very worst efficiency in a contest since 2020).
With their playoff lives on the line, the Detroit Lions produced an absolute dud, turning the ball over six times, forcing zero turnovers and falling to the Minnesota Vikings 23-10. That makes it a Merry Christmas for the Green Bay Packers, who clinch a playoff berth with Detroit's loss.
The Detroit Lions offense was a huge disaster against the Minnesota Vikings, earning some of their worst grades of the year.
Of note, center Graham Glasgow (knee) was upgraded from limited to full participation in the estimated practice report for the walkthrough.
